Thought I'd see who all has read the Song of Ice and Fire books including the newest one, Feast For Crows. I finished it a few days ago and really enjoyed it. It felt like half a book because...well, it is but it was very good nonetheless and I am excited about the next one. These might be favourite fantasy books although Pratchett still wins out due his sheer volume. What are people thinking about them? -leeman

How many books are in the series now, I've read the first three, and I thought A Dance of Dragons, or whatever it was called hadn't come out yet. Definitly need to look for these new ones. I'm so eager to read more about the youngest princess and the dragon queen lady. Huh...that' kinda sounds gay.

Definitely good stuff. I got A Feast for Crows on day 1 (November 8th I think it was.) I became a fan after reading book one at none other than Gaming Steve's behest. I would like to use this to thanks him for that, if he didn't already see what I put on the frappr.

I got Feast for Crows the day it came out at a book signing for Mr. Martin. It was very cool and I even got some of my questions answered. If you like the series, try to see him speak; it's a really great experience. I finished the book and now get to wait for the next half. Great stuff. -leeman

I found out the other day that there are two short-stories floating around based in ASoIaF, one is called The Hedgeknight and i can't remember the other one, but it's about the old guy from the wall when he was a kid.

I bought A Feast for Crows a month ago and read it, very good read. I let my friend read the book afterwards and one night he pointed out there was something interesting on the first page. I open the book and take a look, there was George R. Martin's signature. It wasn't printed, it was actual pen, you could see tiny smears and where it rubbed off a bti on the other page. We were both freakin' out about it.

Hedge Knight is really cool and there's a nifty graphic novel that was released some time back. My fiancee got it for christmas and it's got some really cool backstory and a lot more Westeros flavour. I recommend it.

I think all the books have family trees in the very back of them. At least all the ones I own do...

However there are a ton of names back there and some times it's hard to remembe rexactly who you are looking for. It might be a good idea to highlight main or itneresting characters so they stick out while you are looking for them.
